1948 Map of Linscott

About this map

Small country schools anchor the sparsely populated Sandhills of central Nebraska in the late 1940s, providing a vital window into the rural educational network of the era. The tiny settlement of Linscott stands in the northeast corner of the map, situated just across the border from Blaine Co. This terrain is characterized by its rolling, uncultivated landscape, where water features like Sand Valley and Dry Creek determine the placement of homesteads and roads.
